Answer: 70.909090909091%

Step-by-step explanation: Reading through the problem we have 78 is, that's 78 equals, what percent, x/100, of 110, times 110.

It's important to understand that percent means over 100 so what percent would simply mean x/100 or any variable but I will be using x.

So we have the equation $78 = \frac{x}{100} *110$

So cross canceling the 110 and 100 to 11 and 10, we have $78 = \frac{11x}{10}$

Multiply both sides by 10 to get rid

of the fraction and we have 780 = 11x.

Now divide both sides by 11 and 70.909090909091 = x.

So, 78 is 70.909090909091% of 110.

What is the upper quartile, Q3, of the following data set? 54, 53, 46, 60, 62, 70, 43, 67, 48, 65, 55, 38, 52, 56, 41

scZoUnD [109]

The original data set is
{54, 53, 46, 60, 62, 70, 43, 67, 48, 65, 55, 38, 52, 56, 41}

Sort the data values from smallest to largest to get
{38, 41, 43, 46, 48, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 60, 62, 65, 67, 70}

Now find the middle most value. This is the value in the 8th slot. The first 7 values are below the median. The 8th value is the median itself. The next 7 values are above the median.

The value in the 8th slot is 54, so this is the median

Divide the sorted data set into two lists. I'll call them L and U
L = {38, 41, 43, 46, 48, 52, 53}
U = {55, 56, 60, 62, 65, 67, 70}
they each have 7 items. The list L is the lower half of the sorted data and U is the upper half. The split happens at the original median (54).

Q3 will be equal to the median of the list U
The median of U = {55, 56, 60, 62, 65, 67, 70} is 62 since it's the middle most value.

Therefore, Q3 = 62

Your state is considering raising the legal age for consumption of alcoholic beverages to 21 years old. How large a sample size

julsineya [31]

Answer:

$n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.01}{2.58})^2}=16641$

And rounded up we have that n=16641

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})$

Solution to the problem

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 99% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.99=0.01$ and $\alpha/2 =0.005$ . And the critical value would be given by:

$z_{\alpha/2}=-2.58, t_{1-\alpha/2}=2.58$

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}$ (a)

And on this case we have that $ME =\pm 0.01$ and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

$n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}$ (b)

For this case we can use as estimator for the proportion $\hat p =0.5$ , since we don't have any other previous info. And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

$n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.01}{2.58})^2}=16641$

And rounded up we have that n=16641
